Consider if some PC makers went the way of IMac. What if they didn't ship with a floppy? Since its been debated whether on not the 1.44 floppy is even useful, let the consumer decide !

A person buying a floppyless computer could shop for a 1.44 drive (uggh) or pick up a UBS Zip. The UBS doesn't even require a knob to tighten in the cable. Retail sales would explode.

Removable storage would be the only choice, whatever format you bought...

IOM? Hmmm, well if the darn cartridges weren't priced out of this world maybe I would have bought one by now. But not at these prices no way no how....and I have trouble investing in a company whose products I wouldn't buy.

Take this with a grain of salt of course I've only been doing this since 1993.
